Another Blah

The past week was tiring. Apart from normal lessons, there was sectionals on Thursday and then tutti on Friday, and there will be sectionals again on Monday. Next week is even worse. There will be a mini EOY because every subject (except music) wants a test/assignment at the end of headstart.Ok, enough on tiring things.

Yesterday, the afternoon was spent in Chinatown because my parents wanted to remake the cushion covers on the living room chairs. The furniture there was bought by my grandparents as my parents' wedding gift I think. It's this cheena-looking set with wooden carvings on the back and blah blah blah. It's been under my parents' care for about 16.5 years. There is no way we can ever change it or even get rid of it because I don't know what will happen. It's still checked on every few weeks. Not that I'm planning anything but I think my house just looks like some museum.

Shopped around for more long pants for colder weather in a week. Yes, I don't usually wear long pants (jie ying would definitely know) so those/the one I have is not long enough by my standards. Yesterday was very relaxing because I only had to be in church by 7.30pm.

Today, church again in the morning as usual. We watched a movie (another episode of what was screened last night). It was about missionaries in China and how they fought hard and sacrificed their lives. I got a neck ache from trying to see the subtitles on the bottom of the screen (thought it was still in Chinese) because the mainland Chinese accent is still very hard to catch. But overall, a good and meaningful production.

The coffee shop and hawker centre opposite church are closed for renovation. This makes eating lunch hard, especially when you have to stay back in church in the afternoon. Today, had to stay back for the choir practice. They are combining with chimes (or the other way round) for Christmas. Not bad, at least there'll be some young voices. I predict a busy Christmas. Have this, chimes, need to play violin for some other item then for worship band as well. It is a rare occasion to actually be the one sitting back and watching the Christmas program. Kids are usually involved since their kindergarten days in the Sunday School, all the way till dunno when. Well, it doesn't become a burden if you know who you're doing it for.

Then, went Jean and I went to our grandparents' house because mom was having a long meeting in church. Dad decided to go home so he could fetch her later. Played with Jensen but Jerome was sleeping most of the time. Then, helped design a flyer for our grandfather's senior citizen fellowship special event. Then, drove down to Lau Pa Sat where we met our parents for dinner.

That's all for now. Going to read a bit of a book then sleep.
